Why did China, Russia, Asean and even Japan not do anything to stop Myanmar and its armed forces from massacring and expelling the Rohingyas? Why instead are they now trying to prevent Bangladesh from taking the matter to the International Criminal Court?

Bangladesh's attempt to solve the crisis bilaterally with Myanmar has gone nowhere and has been a disappointment. Without help from the United Nations and other international organisations, it seems that this problem will never be resolved. This is why Bangladesh should absolutely take Myanmar to the ICC.
